There was a small error in my earlier post, owing to hasty cut-and-paste
from elsewhere -

The correct order of sentences is the following -

na. moksha-sAdhanatvena anavagamAt. na hi vedAnteshu brahma-Atma-vijnAnAd
anyat parama-purushArtha-sAdhanatvena avagamyate.

A few lines later,

ananya-sAdhanatvAc ca nirodhasya. na hy Atma-vijnAna-tat-smRti-saMtAna-
vyatirekeNa citta-vRtti-nirodhasya sAdhanam asti. abhyupagamya idam uktam.
na tu brahma-vijnAna-vyatirekeNa anyan moksha-sAdhanam avagamyate.
